What patients report about Medxdent
Patients at Medxdent report serious concerns regarding the quality and longevity of dental implants, with one reviewer stating their implant was placed "crookedly" and another describing their implants as "worthless" and causing tooth ache. Additionally, reviewers report issues with pricing, including a failure to honour a promised discount for Allianz customers and a discrepancy between a "discounted price list" received beforehand and the actual charge.
We quote the actual 1–2★ reviews below so you can verify each one yourself, and weigh them against a clinic with a clean record.
Who treats you — and who is accountable
The biggest divide in Turkish dentistry is whether a named specialist treats you start-to-finish, or your case is assigned within a rotating team. At Taki Dent, Prof. Dr. Sadık Taki — a specialist prosthodontist with 17 peer-reviewed publications and Turkish Dental Association membership — personally assesses, treats and follows up every case and stays reachable on WhatsApp, so the person who consents your plan is the one accountable for it. Ask Medxdent for the name of the individual dentist who will perform your surgery, and verify their register entry.
Guarantee & aftercare
Taki Dent's guarantee is written and tiered — a lifetime manufacturer warranty on implant components and a 5–10 year guarantee on crowns and veneers — and for a significant issue it covers a free return trip for corrective treatment, activated by the treating doctor himself. Every patient also receives a serialised implant passport. Get Medxdent's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"The doctor here needs to be investigated to determine if he's even qualified. The implants he did are worthless; my teeth are aching. I absolutely do not recommend him. Don't waste your money; pay a little extra and get treatment elsewhere."
